Black-backed Woodpecker


Next in my woodpecker series is the Black-backed Woodpecker. Uncommon and localized inhabitant of northern Boreal and montane coniferous forests, comprising spruce, tamarack, red fir, hemlock, ponderosa pine, and lodgepole pine. In Oregon, they are mostly found in the cascade range and the blue mountains and the Wallowas. The are very fond of burned over and beetle infested forests so the best place to find them are in burns that are up to five or six years old.
